The RET proto-oncogene, which encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase, displays multiple alternative splicing variants. Splicing of sequences 3' of exon 19 to generate several coding and untranslated region (UTR) sequences has been previously reported. We have sequenced the full length RET coding region and characterized the transcripts and 3' UTRs generated by alternative splicing of the RET 3' terminus. These analyses were performed using both RET cDNA cloned from a pheochromocytoma library and… CONTINUE READING
